Your Reward, from human or from Heavenly Father, your choice!

In Matthew 6:1-4, The Lord Yeshua, Jesus Christ teaches us a lesson about giving and receiving our rewards. Yeshua is teaching us through the Holy Spirit through His Word in a way that is pleasing to God. Many times we deceive ourselves by acting under an assumed character like those stage actors and wanting honor for ourselves. Such is the way of hypocrisy when seeking rewards from humans. In this passage, we can learn the principle of secret giving and it is so secret that the left-hand doesn't know what the right is doing. In my nearly two decades of walking by faith and gave seen the truth at work. Have seen people giving freely and yet gain more, I have seen stingy people that day withhold and lose what they have. Salmon said in  Proverbs 11:24, There is one who scatters, yet increases more, and there is one who withholds more than is right, but it leads to poverty. Please take careful notes of the work "withholds more". So it is not how much we give but how much we have left because this determines how much trust and faith we have in God. With all the desire to get on with their finances, many people are not able to obey God because they only live for themselves. It is the attitudes that Ste contrary to the will of God, who loves cheerful givers. Other faithful believers who gave ten percent at first, have increased in giving because they desire to be " rich in giving toward God and His kingdom" and not to withhold or to sore up things for themselves. The key is desire and the right motives and God's reward will come upon the person and the blessing will overtake him/her. There are so many other passages that Jesus Christ uses concerning giving and receiving in Luke 6:38 He said "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” And concerning giving to the poor is as a landing to the Lord, " He who pities the poor lends to the LORD, and He will pay back what he has given" Proverbs 19:17.
